Sun, Sand, and Sea BOM Finish and Quilt Link Party

Can you believe that 

our Sun, Sand, and Sea 

BOM is coming to an end?

Here is what all of those 

blocks look like when 

they are all sewn together.

This was finished creating
54 flying geese blocks that are
2 1/2" x 4 1/2" with 2 1/2" blocks
on the corners.
Then, I added a 4 1/2" border to
frame up the whole quilt.

The quilt was completed

 using 

batik fabrics.

I loved seeing all the
blocks come together

and I can't wait for it to be 

all quilted up.
You can find all the patterns
to this quilt HERE.

If you missed the announcement,
we have an exciting news!
We will be hosting
our third Block of the Month.
We sure hope that you

will be joining us.

the 2018 BOM HERE!

Under the Big Top Circus Pillow

I was lucky enough

this fall to work with 

a beautiful collection 

of fabric by Blend.

It is Calliope  by 

designer Maude Ashbury.

It is cute and whimsical.

After some deliberation, 

I decided to make a pillow 

that embraced the circus theme.

You can see some tricks to how I created the 

flaps to the circus tent and

other details over at Thermoweb.

I used Aurifil 12wt. thread 

to quilt the outside edge and to 

hand-stitch the banner string down.

I just love how it 

turned out.

The full pattern for the pillow 

can be found on my Craftsy
pattern page.

This would be the perfect
pillow for the nursery for all those spring or
summer babies that will
soon be arriving.
You will have to not sew on buttons,
if it is to be in a child's room. 

While you are downloading the 

Free pattern, go 

and check out the awesome sale that 

Craftsy is having.

It is Craftsy's End of Year Sale.

I picked up this quilt kit that 

I have had my eye on for some time.

It is the Paddy Cake Holiday Homies Quilt Kit.

I can't wait to get this 

and finish it for my son for next Christmas.

It is just too cute.

Penguin and Reindeer Snow Globe

So I snuck in one more

project before Christmas time

(Well, actually two)

and I absolutely love them.

Two sweet characters to grace my couch

for Christmas and maybe the

whole winter.

They are so much fun to play with.

I keep catching the kids

tipping them over and 

watching the snow falling

around the penguin or 

the reindeer.

They are so much fun, 

but really hard to take 

a great picture of because of the light always 

reflecting off the vinyl or the glitter.

If you are looking for a fun

and different pattern, 

you can find them as a set on my

Craftsy Pattern Page.

I am discounting all 

of my Winter/Christmas Patterns Half Off

until December 26th

including this newest pattern. 

Have a Very Merry Christmas!!

Poinsettia Wreath

Christmas will be here in 

just 4 short days,
are you all prepared?

During all the hustle and bustle
of the holidays,
I completely forgot to
show off this
 wreath that I created for
Thermoweb.

It is a super

easy no sew wreath, 

that I just love.

It was created using the
Poinsettia die from
Sizzix.

Fun and NO SEW!!

You can find the complete
tutorial here on
Thermoweb.
